(ex)Sgtrafman Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Evening all I think I have finished with the weathering on my Hurricane. If I'm honest I've probably gone a little heavier than I originally intended but I think it kinda works? Yesterday I thought that I had a problem with paint lifting from the model but it now transpires that its a decal that's lifted and its taken some of the underlying paint with it, I'm not going to loose sleep over it coz again I think it kinda works and I don't want to do anymore damage to the offending area. You will notice that the under carriage is now on the plane, I fitted it to try and make the under carriage legs a little more robust as I have broken the starboard leg off more than once! Anyway here we are... ..and its rather dirty belly... Well that ladies and gents is that please let me know what you think, good, bad, indifferent? Cheers Iain 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 That's certainly a dirty belly , but who's to say it's wrong, it could have all been all cleaned off the next day! I like the slightly ' dusty ' look of the upper surfaces,. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antb Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I rather like it and think it looks great. Really gritty like it's been worked hard. Fab job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture courtesy of Pinterest ..and as for the the dusty finish on the model it only shows on photos you can't see it in real life? I'm going to give it another matt coat when the last bits and pieces are added just to blend everything in and hopefully make the final finish better.

bigbadbadge Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Iain A lovely Hurricane in an unusual scheme, great work. The Airfix kit looks a good kit. I am building their 72nd fabric wing Hurricane and it is also a cracker and very enjoyable. I hope that your lovely model has re energised your MoJo and you can build some more BoB lovelies. Keep up the good work All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix kit isn’t bad at all and with a little effort can be built into a pleasing model. I don’t know why I went off the boil - the interest has always been there I just seemed to run out of time during the week to do anything. i do have some more BofB builds planned but I want to finish an Airfix Lancaster BIII that I started a while back, Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(ex)Sgtrafman Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi everyone Well its getting close to being finished (not before time!) I've still to add the seat belt, radio antenna, rear view mirror, pitot and boarding step plus I need to weather the exhausts but I think the next time you see it it will be in the RFI section. Cheers all Iain 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad-4N Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I am building this exact machine with the Hasegawa kit and Xtradecal sheet. I love the different shades of DE. Looks like it’s been touched up in the field. Well done on the tri-color spinner, I am a little curious how mine will look. If mine turns out 10% as nice I will be ecstatic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
